There are so many widgets and tracking services catering to bloggers, and I never can sift through them all. It’s a matter or prioritizing exactly what I need. The latest one I’ve stumbled across is Blog Copy (blogcopy.com).

When you paste the code into your blog template, you will receive stats on who is quoting you or lifting information from your site. While not a plagiarism buster, per se, the true intent is to notify you of other folks that are talking about you. Sure, it would be great if they had added a link back to your site. However, the “trackback” functions of some sites aren’t 100% reliable, and if you rely on googling yourself, it may take a long time for pages to be indexed, particularly if they are obscure.

As of now, I don’t know of any inherent problems with the code interfering with other code or widgets, but if you have experienced hiccups, let me know.
